FUND RAISING ACTIVITY

UNIVERSITY OF MALAYA

22 MARCH, 2016.

For my next project in this course, we were to sell muffins to raise fund for buying prizes and also some equipment to conduct our next project successfully. As we all decided to sell muffins, we all choose one of our group mates to arrange the muffins.

Her mother baked the muffins and we all were assigned to sell 13 muffins each. We choose our university and residential colleges to sell the muffins. But as I live off campus, I was assigned to sell the muffins to my area.

Back in my country, I used to do a lot of fund raising activities for my previous events. So I knew how to conduct this task. So I followed my strategy and within a very short time I was able to sell all the muffins. I learnt many things from this fund raising activity as well. It is not an easy task to do. I had to provide quality muffins so that the buyers can get the proper muffins. I also learnt how to do fund raising program in a very short time. Also, I had to communicate to some people who don't know English. That was very challenging for me. I had to learn some Malay words to communicate with them and sell them the muffins. And fortunately, I was able to do so.

There were promotions for muffins as well. One muffin costs RM 2, but if anyone buys 3 muffins, he will get it at RM 5. So, this market strategy also helped me to sell all the muffins in time. After that, I handed a total amount of RM 22 to our group treasure. I was happy that we conducted our fund raising activity successfully and with proper guidance. Also, I got to learn many marketing skills from this particular fund raising activity. I am also very thankful to our group for the unity and also for helping each other for achieving our targeted goal.
